Moon Rising Over Marquette Breakwall Lighthouse

Lighthouse Moonrise

A full moon rising slowly over the Marquette Breakwall Lighthouse, A two stop GND soft edge made this shot possible. The filter helped hold back the brightness of the moon, so I could capture detail in it with a single exposure. This was a wonderful night to watch the moon rise, The soft pastel hues of the sky blended perfectly with the ice on the breakwall as well as the sliver of deep blue water at the bottom of the image. A combination of sharp and soft cloud cover only enhanced the feeling of Drama as well as peace taking place in the same scene. I truly hope you enjoy, please let me know what you think.
